Father to Son [chorenga]

Posted by: nowax in chorenga

Slowly ember-like
Love shared under moonless sky
Glows and fades away

Work on it for it to stay
Romance is not forever

———-

If you find yourself
Falling quickly out of love
Do remind yourself

Of why you have chosen her
Of why she has chosen you

———-

More than a feeling
More than care for the other
More than attraction

Love is always about choice
Also about promises

———-

A promise to stay
A promise to e’er keep on
And to e’er keep true

A promise that ties and binds
In a pact that lasts lifetimes

———-

It is about choice
To love unfalteringy
To love ever true

E’en if you don’t get it back
Sacrifice is part of it

———-

Soon you will find out
That the feelings are all gone
That romance has died

But the love you share remains
Faith and hope fades - love does not

Now this one was particularly hard so I chose an easy topic to do (sorry about the infantile and hopelessly romantic tone - easier to do).

Chorenga is a hokku style Japanese poem that incorporates the basic hokku - 7-5-7 7-7 metered poetry block but must contain at least 30 verses.

Each hokku block must be independent of each other - but when taken together, form a distinct poem. Enjoy!
